Withered army training tips and tricks Fire Mage

[aesthir9]

Here are some tips and tricks for the withered army training guide; I focus specifically on how to do this on non-tank ranged classes, I will also post a video below of a playthrough of the scenario fire mage POV.

BEFORE YOU START
- Unlock the highest possible ancient mana cap that you can for your given rep : more mana -> more withered (2K is max)
To do this, make sure to loot the 5 treasures that increase your ancient mana cap by 100
- Best Ancient Mana farming spot: Ancient Mana farm Spot
60.0 55.0 in Suramar, easy access via portal to vinyards; either follow the route from the video or server hop at the coordinates


TIPS AND TRICKS:

General:
Don't drag any mobs through your withered army as it knocks them back and damages them
Tag every mob before they get close to your withered so you have aggro
There is no time limit so you can wait for cd's if you desire
375 score required for max rep rewards

Area 1: Dryads/Volatile wraiths
- Let the volatile wraiths cast arcane munition on you, but make sure to be away from your withered
- Use your stun/blind/knockback/fear when the wraith casts explosion (even stuff like paralyze works); Can pop cd's at 30% health if you're having trouble killing it before explosion.
- Clear everything untill you get to the spider area, then go back and loot all chests (use up your withered to bring back the big chests)

Area 2: Spider area and leywatcher Dro
- Clear as much of the area (don't hit the eggs or collect any withered, you actually want a small amount of withered (ideally 1 while you've used up all the rest for chests) because Dro won't do his unavoidable AOE withered NUKE.
- Be wary of Dro spawning -> instant CC him -> clear the entire spider area while going back to Dro to reapply CC (if you have 1 withered you can wait for him to teleport to you, if you have multiple you need to chain CC so he doesn't charge all your withered). All CC works: fear, root, sheep, paralyze etc.
- If you have multiple withered while Dro is alive, you can open the side doors requireing 10 withered and clear those areas depending on difficulty (while cc'ing Dro).

-Skip the big Etin (I died there in the video) run around his path and you can collect the withered and then finish the scenario upstairs (pretty straightforward area)!
- If you want to do the Etin:
pull him back into the hallway so you don't have to deal with endless spiders
Try to pull him away from your withered so he won't eat them / aoe kill them (You want none of your withered to be in range with him, while also not to far away that they will disappear

This is mainly a guide for people who haven't unlocked much inside the scenario yet, so it's a super good way to get quite a high score on your alts and the like.
